Pretty much. Where is Kratos when you need him.
Also, those complaining about Lack of dual analog sticks, I'm sure you can use two sub-controllers and let the other one act as the 2nd stick (with X and O being mapped Triangle and Square).

All up the developer, I suppose.

Please. As I said earlier, I own all three systems. Anybody who thinks Sony put on a good showing here is absolutely out of their mind. The tech has potential but nothing they've shown looks more than mediocre.

Oh man, you are going to see A LOT of on rail shooters on this thing. believe me. And you know what, a developer will put a fake plastic gun that you can insert the Move in it, and then you'll feel just like the good old days of the arcade.

Deliver those shooters through PSN at a good price and im down

Cannot believe the lack of shame... :lol :lol :lol

Copycat down to the wrist strap and the look... :/

Hopefully the games are better or comparable to the Best games available on wii now...


Edit: If the pointer is accurate for FPSs the move + movechuck is better than the wii mote.
I like the extra face buttons on the wand and the dpad on the chuck.

Question: Do both remotes have triggers and is there a big button under the thumb?

You will need to buy 8 new remotes for local multi games.... any pricing details yet?

So basically Sony shamelessly now has Wii support for their system. Smart move, I guess. It's a nice selling point for families looking to upgrade to HD entertainment. I just hope I never have to hear about it again.

I was watching the guy during it, though. The character didn't weave with him. It seemed almost like he was moving the two Moves in one direction or the other between punches. It's hard to tell though but it certainly didn't look like one-to-one body tracking for the fighter's physical movements.

Yes, it did look rough in general - I mean the motion controller mapping there wasn't good even. But just relaying what they're saying they'll include...

I guess the Wii has not taught people anything.

Calling the Move a failure before it comes out is the ultimate failure.

There's a difference between "comes standard with the system" and "optional peripheral released afterwards" though. It's not exactly the same comparison.

Nothing has failed yet as neither of these are out. Please stfu.

This was something to spur developers to see the potential.

There's potential to see here that hasn't been there since the Wii came out over 3 years ago?

I love playing the Wii, and I'm sure Sony's version will be more accurate and the games will look better, but I'm not seeing anything here that I didn't see at E3 2006 when the Wii was playable.

Developers know what they're getting with this, an opportunity to port Wii titles that weren't successful on the Wii to a machine where no one will buy them here either.

Without a controller being packaged with every PS3 this can never be anything more than an alternate control method. SIXAXIS is included in every PS3 controller and no developer uses that without providing a solution that uses the analogue sticks.

The machine is more expensive, the controller is even more expensive, it needs a camera and the games so far, are the same tech demos Nintendo showed nearly 4 years ago. There is very little to be excited about, or to think developers will be excited about.

Still, playing RE5 with Wii controls will be nice. At least this can do shooters, Natal is yet to prove it can, or light gun games. Hey Sony, package a bunch of Sega Light Gun shooters with Move and you'll have piqued my interest. But it would be pretty hard to fit that controller in a plastic gun shell.

Durp, guess it does. Too bad there's no Community Games on PS. I could see the next iteration of Rumble Massage being a huge hit.

Explains why they wanted all the wireless broadcast stuff turned off as per Gamespot.

And yes, the fighting game looks rough. Though they just said they'd be including knee, elbow and head moves...they seemed to be looking at stance with the eye also, so it looks like that's going to mix controller and general body motion.
Click to expand...


Thanks gofreak.

Another interesting bit I understood looking at the GS feed is that the bulb color is determined by the system relative to the color of the room in order to make it stand out. That's pretty clever.

But still, if it does indeed lack vibration I'll be pissed.

It's nice to have the confirmation of rumble on the Move controller. How about the SubMove?
Also, am i the only one to notice that the Move and SubMove have totally different triggers? They could also make a DualShock3.1 with those new triggers. Wouldn't do them any harm i think.

Yup. That one dude did claim they'd try to extend beyond what the Wii has primarily been doing though. But eeehh... But we'll see. But whatever. It'd be nice if there was eventually something I'd be wowed by, but if not I'm perfectly content with my analog sticks.

I would be somewhat interested in this Heavy Rain talk one has been hearing about. I don't know if that was for future games though maybe? That sort of stuff and what Shattered Memories is doing I'd care about.

TTP, it's right in the press release. Sub controller= no rumble, normal sphere controller= rumble.

The problem, though, is that you make a blanket generalization that "Wii fanboys" are the ones who think this thing looks bad. There have been several people in this thread who seem to be Sony fans that feel the same.

Sony, you're lacking something called ORIGINALITY.

Everything it just showed off at GDC can be done with Natal (which at least can do some unique things) while the actual motion control is basically the same thing that the Wii can do whether its with the standard controls or MotionPlus.

It hurts to watch Sony pretend to be something its not and think that it is providing a superior project when compared to Nintendo and Micosoft's efforts. So far ,the tech demos have failed to impress me... and what's with all of the pre-alpha footage ? Lame.


... and then there's the actual controller and official name of it. PlayStation Move and subcontroller ? Sony needs to fire the employee who came up with those dull names.
So it looks like a coloreful sex toy on a microphone. I think this is where I should start laughing.

I would guess that only the Move will get rumble as it's the part of the controller associated with the action...

Why is the Wii Controller setup design (both aesthetically and ergonomically) far better than the sub-controller design despite being nearly half a decade old?

EDIT - No rumble?

No motion controller in nunchuck?

Seriously? :lol

Soooo I missed the entire conference. Judging by the thread title every single thing that Sony showed was related to motion control. Am I right on this?

Yep, just what I expected the final product to look like, a Wii Remote with a different button layout.


Does it still need a special camera or can you use the old one?
